Thank you, Madam Chair. A couple quick questions. The Office of the Fire Marshal, I just wanted to just to add my comments on that. There's a budget of $512,000 there for -- to helping that office. But my experience working construction in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, and also working with the Housing Corporation and working with the local housing authorities in the communities, the thing is that when I think about the municipality or even the city of Yellowknife, the property lines in this area here, most properties around the city of Yellowknife are about 50 by a hundred. And between the building and the property line, you could probably get away with 1.5 meters from the building to the fence and then the next one over, the same thing. So you would have probably about the 3 meters between building to building. And that's acceptable in a place like Yellowknife because they got a fire department down the road; you got fire hydrants, etcetera.

But my experience in the communities, they don't have fire hydrants. You know, they don't have that in some of the communities I've seen, anyway. And they wouldn't have a fire department that's probably just down the road, and that's volunteer.

So two things that comes to mind is that I know communities are talking about doing residential and commercial block development. I just want to make sure that from my experience, when I was working in the communities of N'dilo and Dettah, we were told by the fire marshal's office that you had to be from 40 feet from the building to building. And, but yet our residential lots are -- in our communities are given out by Chief and councillor are 50 by a hundred. So that doesn't work. So I just want to make sure that is MACA prepared to work with communities that don't have, you know, the fire hydrants and 24-hour manned fire stations? Thank you, Madam Chair.
